STRIKER Denis Stracqualursi looks happy being asked to play up front on his own.

He knows that’s his job and gets on with it.

Maybe when Louis Saha or Yakubu were asked to play as the lone striker, they were constantly asking ‘where’s my mate?’.

Stracqualursi just accepts that he’s going to be up there by himself and just works his socks off and though Everton have just signed Nikica Jelavic, it doesn’t mean they necessarily have to play him.

There have been victories of late which have meant more to Everton fans than any other. Manchester City and Chelsea have spent more than most in recent years, so defeating these two teams is sweet for fans.
